Hi Tony
Yes, faster walkers will go first to avoid bottlenecks at check points. But do still put down preferred start time, I will just reverse them. And in particular put down time taken on last 100.

I'm planning to enter the Y 100 Sir Fynwy, which has been rescheduled for May 2021.

The current entry form, like the one in 2020, requires walkers to select a start time, based essentially on their predicted finish time. In this model, slower walkers go first.

However, if the event does go ahead, it seems much more likely, to preserve social distancing, that the start will be need to be "inverted" - with faster walkers taking the lead.

Should we ignore this consideration when entering?
